Def. Shinran Buddhism (n.): Also called Jodo-Shinshu Buddhism or Shin Buddhism, Shinran Buddhism concentrates on reflecting the wisdom and compassion of the Amida Buddha and ultimately reaching the heart of the Amida Buddha to end up in the Pure Land, or Jodo-Shinshu.
FOUNDER: Shinran Shonin (1173-1262) was a buddhist monk who thought of these principles of Shinran Buddhism through meditating on the 3 Poisons of Buddhism: Greed, Anger, and Ignorance.
IMPORTANT SYMBOLS:
Amida Buddha: The main figure head of Shinran Buddhism. The Amida Buddha represents infinite light and life and people connect to the Buddha through its name, unlike other sects of Buddhism.
3 Sutras: To reach the heart of the Amida Buddha (the main goal of Shinran Buddhism), one must understand these sutras
Larger Sutra- Eternal Life in the Amida Buddha
Meditation Sutra- Finding salvation and faith in the Amida Buddha
Smaller Sutra- The Beauty of the Pure Land
Shinjin: In Shinjin, it is thought that the Amida Buddha embraces and covers one with its infinite and indescribable light. It is a guarantee that one will rebirth in the pure land.
Nembutsu: An important vow made in Shinran Buddhism. It symbolizes faith within the Amida Buddha. Out of about 48 vows, it is the 18th and known as the Primal Vow. It marks true Shinjin happening in one's heart and soul.
